Chip guru AMD has announced that it's going to drop the ATi brand name following its takeover of the Canadian graphics underdog. Gareth Cater from AMD told Custom PC that 'the new company will be called AMD,' meaning that we could shortly be seeing AMD-branded Radeon

"AMD has backtracked on that position, saying no such decision has been made and that it maintains a strong commitment to the ATi brand."
